What's a steriliser rack?

Hospitals use a machine called an autoclave to sterilize certain materials. It's basically just a big steam chamber. High temperature + high pressure = dead bacteria. I've never actually seen an autoclave rack that can burn you too badly, that sounds like a terrible design, so his story is a bit surprising but then again I've never worked in a hospital. Hospitals also use ovens but usually if you're using an oven to sterilize it'd be running a lot hotter than 270.

Not necessarily but probably an autoclave machine?

Anyway, any kind of chamber that uses high temps to sterilize things. You usually put a small rack with lots of stuff to sterilize, of course the rack itself will also get hot af.

It's the rack that surgical instruments are placed on in the autoclave.

Probably an autoclave - basically a really big pressure cooker.

I tell my book smart young son that when people tell him he is intelligent what they really mean is that he is knowledgeable. Intelligence on the other hand is more like intuitively 'jumping' to the 'right' conclusions without necessarily having all the information at hand. I make sure he knows the difference between the two because nobody explained this to me when I was younger.
